No matter what I try I am still getting the parsing error:

rtl8139.c:336: parse error before string constant

I've copied the netdrivers.tgz from
ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/netdrivers.tgz and have compiled it in a
netdrivers directory that I constructed in my root directory.   Still I
get the parsing error.   The tulip.o and pci-scan.o files are never
built.   I am on the verge of giving up hope on having linux connect to
the internet, and am seriously rethinking the wisdom of running Windows
and Linux on the same machine.    (Separate partitions of course).   

Should I update from Redhat 7.1 to 7.2.    Changing my network card is
not an option.   Should I alter any of the files that are in the
netdrivers.tgz file?   

Any advice would be appreciated.    (I'm trying to get my Linksys
LNE100TX(v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter to work on linux).    I have a ADSL
connection.
